Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese. 2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice. 1 tbsp orange zest. 1 large egg. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Additional butter or oil for cooking. Maple syrup and fresh orange slices for serving.

Ingredients: 1 pound of bacon strips. Baking sheet. Parchment paper optional.
